Chapter 37 Not an Ordinary Person
The old man took a step forward, took out a box of hardcover and handed it to Driver Liu, "Master Liu, I, the old man, will trouble you."

It’s in front of the gate again...

Thinking of the box of cigarettes Xu Qiuqiu gave yesterday.

Driver Liu picked up the cigarette and felt familiar again and again, and the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic.

But Xu Qiuqiu could see everything clearly while standing in the carriage.

The cigarette that the middle-aged man hadn't taken out for a long time was the real good stuff.

Soft-packed China.

At this time, these are special cigarettes, and it will be several years before the prices are fully opened and they completely enter the civilian market.

Those who can afford to smoke Chinese at this time are not ordinary people!
Xu Qiuqiu sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but think of the uncle from the Jiang family whom she met yesterday.

Could they be cadres who came from the province together?
Xu Qiuqiu looked at the middle-aged man in his eyes without leaving any trace.

Blue shirt and gray trousers, this look makes him look like a respectable person.

But the old man next to him...

How should I put it, no matter how she dresses or speaks, she is very down-to-earth.

Everything he says and does is no different from the local old man.

There is also a basket full of lively seafood.

Are you going to the county to sell seafood?

Frowning, Xu Qiuqiu couldn't figure out their details for the time being.

Forget it...

With some thought in mind, she stretched out her hand with a smile, "Uncle, I will pull you up."

"Hey, you picked up this basket of seafood, how awesome! I'm afraid we young people can't compare to your quick hands and feet, and you can pick up so many seafood."

In business, if you make good connections, you might be able to use them one day.

Even if it is useless, it is still good to do one good deed every day.

The nice words don't cost money, Xu Qiuqiu just opens her mouth and comes.

Older people tend to like to hear good things.

Especially for someone as dissatisfied with old age as the old man, he prefers others to praise him for his physical strength.

Xu Qiuqiu's words spoke to his heart.

"Who says it's not the case? When I was young, I was a good sailor!"

The old man was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. He turned around and rolled his eyes at his son, "It's just because this kid likes to worry blindly. He's not allowed to go here or that. He might as well suffocate my old man to death!"

"This is also a good education for you."

It sounded like the old man was complaining on the surface, but actually he was showing off.

Xu Qiuqiu smiled and said: "This uncle is also worried about you and is filial to you. You are a lucky man."

The old man laughed, obviously feeling very worried.

Xu Qiuqiu turned around and said to the worried middle-aged man below, "Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of you along the way."

"That's right, why are you worried? I'm lucky. I have such a smart little girl to talk to me all the way. What could happen? Go to your class quickly!"

The old man shooed his son away like a fly.

He felt a little lighter all over, "My son is good at everything, but he is too nagging and meddles in his affairs every day. I am not giving birth to a son, I am simply giving birth to an old mother!"

The old man was very talkative and hardly stopped talking along the way.

Xu Qiuqiu would start a conversation along the way from time to time, and the old man could continue the conversation by himself.

but……

But although the old man talks a lot, he is very measured.

I know what I should say and what I shouldn't say.

We talked all the way, talking about everything from flying in the sky to walking on the ground.

But regarding the situation of his own family, the old man didn't even mention a word.

Although Xu Qiuqiu is rushing to make good connections.

But I didn't have any evil thoughts in my heart, I just thought that I had an extra companion to relieve my boredom on the road.

The old man and the young man chatted very speculatively.

Driver Liu collected two boxes of cigarettes from the two of them in front of the gate. He still had cigarettes in his pocket.

Therefore, it is rare that people are not dropped off as soon as they arrive at the place.

He stuck his head out and asked one more question, "Qiuqiu, where are you going?"

"Mother Li, make your bed early." "Go have breakfast."

Xu Qiuqiu and the old man in the car said in unison.

Yes, this is almost the same place.

Driver Liu didn't hesitate and put the two of them directly at the door where Aunt Li had made the shop earlier.

"Qiuqiu, you're here!"

Hearing the sound of the truck, Aunt Li walked out.

"Yeah, I'll help you."

Seeing Xu Qiuqiu struggling to move a tile tower.

I know it must be crab paste.

Aunt Li quickly stepped forward to help.

After they moved the things into the store, they saw Xu Qiuqiu helping the old man out of the car.

"Tsk, why did you bring the old man here so early in the morning?"

Aunt Li wiped her hands and looked at the old man with a warm smile on her face.

"Uncle, you are Qiuqiu's grandfather! You're welcome to sit down wherever you like. When you come back for the first time, I'll treat you to a bowl of egg noodles."

Ah this...

"Auntie, you misunderstood."

Seeing Aunt Li walking around to the back of the stove to get down, Xu Qiuqiu quickly explained.

"This is an old man from our town. He took a ride with me to the county. The old man is getting old, and his family asked me to take care of him on the way."

"Is that so..."

Aunt Li nodded, her hands still moving, "Then uncle also came here early in the morning. Let's eat a bowl of noodles first?"

Aunt Li is very good at being a good person, and a bowl of egg noodles made the old man smile.

I told you that every time you go to the county, you will have breakfast here.

"Okay."

Aunt Li is very happy when someone patronizes her business, whether casually or sincerely.

She glanced at the seafood in the basket on the old man's back and said with a smile, "Uncle, you have a lot of seafood, at least ten or twenty kilograms."

"Why don't you sell it at my door? It will be a good companion for Qiuqiu. When the car comes, you can go back together."

"Okay, big sister, I'll cause trouble for you."

There is a stall next to the breakfast shop, and the old man is too lazy to leave.

Just next to it, a lot of seafood was being sold.

The seafood he had just picked up. Although it was fresh, it had not been processed and there was still a lot of sand in it.

There is no comparison with the fragrant seafood cooked by Xu Qiuqiu next to her.

Fortunately, the uncle didn't expect to make money from this.

Not only did he not feel that Xu Qiuqiu was affecting his business, he couldn't help but move his index finger when he saw her fried seafood.

I bought two cups in one go and slowly sold my own seafood while eating.

By noon, Xu Qiuqiu's fried seafood was sold out, and the uncle was full.

He directly sold the fresh seafood he picked up at a cheap price, and took a ride back to town with Xu Qiuqiu.

As soon as the car arrived at the forest farm, the old man's son had been waiting there for a long time.

As soon as he saw the old man, he hurriedly came to help him.

The old man said goodbye to Xu Qiuqiu with a smile.

"Girl, see you tomorrow, remember to leave two glasses of your seafood for me!"

The old man smacked his lips, as if he was still recalling the taste of fried seafood.

The middle-aged man turned around and glanced at Xu Qiuqiu intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Qiuqiu just pretended not to see it and waved to the old man, "No problem, sir, I will leave you two cups of the best tomorrow!"

"Dad, this sea product..."

The old man and his son walked away, but Xu Qiuqiu could still vaguely hear their chatting.

But she didn't take it to heart. She went back and made an appointment with Driver Liu for tomorrow's departure, and then walked home alone.
